MONTEREY, CAL, April 25.-The evidence
against Simmons, who was arrested Satur-
day on the charge OF having set Are to the
Hotel Del Monte, Ia said to be very strong.
1t Is known beyond doubt that the water
pipes had been tempered with, and all the
circumstances point to the probability
that the whole matter had been thought
out by one person. The man who SET IRE TO
the Hotel Del Monte did so with the inten-
tion OF making clean sweep and fully sue
ceaded. What evidence the officers have Of
Simmons guilt Is not known. II is said by
Chief Brown that there are witnesses who
will testify that they saw the accused walk
away from the direction OF the fire few
minutes before the flames were discovered
and that when 1t was found that the
books were uninjured an Investigation
was made, and II was discovered that Sim
mons was $4,000 short in his account.
Another statement Is that at the time Of the
| Are when all were doing what they could to
save lives and property, Simmons was
| walking around with his hands In his
| pockets. When requested to lend his aid
| he replied; II have nothing more to dc
with this place"

NJ. Peligot, an eminent French chemist,
has made n discovery which will be very
comforting TO wine merchants all over
the world. When you buy choice wine
at an alarming number of shillings per
dozen, md afterwards find that you have
got a sour highly branded concoction, it
does not at all follow, it seems, that the
wine merchant is dishonest. 1t is all the
fault of the bottles. Most French bottles,
says NJ. Peligot, are well made and
worthy of receiving good wine; but
France is inundated with bottles of for
eign manufacture whose name is abomi-
nation. In the good old days, when soda
and potash formed the basis of bottle
glass, wine improved by keeping; but
now that glass, like everything else, is
adulterated, the best vintages are liable
to he spoiled. Materials that are largely
6erruginous are constantly employed in
the manufacture Of glass for bottles; and
upon these constituents the acids M the
win act very powerfully, with the result
that the liquid becomes impregnated with
n solution Of magnesia or what not

Many persons are troubled with a
chronic tendency to constipation. They
are of bilious temperament. The com
plaint to which they are subject, though
easily rcmrJiabl, by julirlous treatment,
IS IN many casrs aggravated by a resort to
drastic purgatives and c~holLgogucs. As
the human stomach and bowels are lined
with a delicate membrane. and not with
yalcanitc, they cannot stand prolonged
drenchIBg with such medicines without
serious injury. Nothing restores and
counteracts an habitual tendency to con
stipatiOn so cifcctually as Hostetter's
Stomach Bltters. Its laxative effect is
gentle and progressive. it neither CON
vuls,s nor wcakens the intestines, and its
effects are unaccompanied by gripping
pains. 1t arouses the liver when the or
gan is sluggish, promotes digestion, and
encourages appetite and sleep. For fever
and ague, kidney troubles, nervous com
plants and inclpient rheumatism. it is
incomparable, Take Il wineglass before

NEW MILFORD.

Since my last letter, our village has been pursuing the even tenor of its way. Peo- pie have been born, have died and have married, which last is to some more than an equivalent for death However, I think Cupid has been doing good work up here. From an external point of view, the marriages ought to be happy ones, for the couples have been young and pretty and. for the most part, well favored with this worlds goods. The clergy have reaped a bountiful harvest in fees, especially the rector of All Saints, who has officiated at seven marriages since June.
 As for deaths, there have been none of persons of more than ordinary promi- hence. In fact, there has been few of any kind. New Milford has been exceptional ly healthful the past Summer and Fall. No malaria, no levers, no anything ex- cept plenty of the purest and best air in Litchfield county.
